Roth MC4 Music Cocoon uses Real Tubes

Table of Contents

roth_mc4.jpgThe Roth MC4 Music Cocoon is a unique iPod Dock to say the least. It is a mix of old technology, and new technology. How? Well…the thing uses TUBES. No, not the Tubes that the Interweb is a series of, but actual real opperating tubes so you can hear your music like most of us never have before. The classic tube sound method is matched up with an iPod Dock to give you the best of both worlds, but remember, compressed digital downloads aren’t going to do this thing justice. You’ll need lossless quality tracks – but chances are, if you’re even remotely interested in buying something like this – you already knew that.
